Chapter 184 Killing with a knife
Qingtian Town, Hanjia Village.
Lu Hong's ancestral house is very lively today. The not very spacious place is full of people, full of tables and chairs, shouting and noise, one after another.
This is a courtyard-style building, surrounded by other buildings on three sides, a cement floor in the middle, and a two-story building on the right. The outside is tiled, and the decoration is relatively spacious.
This is Lu Hong's hometown.
October 3rd is the 75th birthday of Lu Hong's grandfather Lu Guoying. His second son, Lu Zhilin's family, not only invited the neighbors and friends around him, but also invited Lu Zhilin's partners and friends in business outside. In addition, Lu Zhilin's son Lu Da also invited many classmates and friends. After all, this birthday banquet also means to celebrate Lu Da's entry into a famous university.
It's about ten o'clock in the morning, and the birthday banquet will begin in half an hour, and the people invited have arrived one after another.
The old birthday star Lu Guoying and his family sat in the lobby of the house for a while.
His wife Yu Qing, Lu Hong's grandmother, sat on the upper part of the hall and looked anxiously at the big clock hanging in the hall. The wrinkles on her face were tighter. While looking at the clock, she looked out of the hall and said anxiously, "Why haven't Zhide and others arrived yet?"
Lu Guoying was very dissatisfied when he heard the words and snorted, "Dird, can't he come back yet? Is there an old man like me in his eyes?"
Yu Qing was even more dissatisfied: "He is in the urban area. He has to be ready to do a lot of things. He can't fly!"
Lu Guoying hummed heavily.
Yu Qing rubbed his hands and said, "I heard that A Hong has also come back, and their family should come back!"
Lu Da, who was sitting next to him, was very jealous when he heard the words. He always couldn't figure out why his grandmother was so good to his cousin Lu Hong, more than his second grandson, who often stayed at home! Isn't he her own grandson?
Lu Da is a little angry. Generally speaking, his family's contribution to the Lu family is much greater than his uncle's family. For example, the renovation of this old house is all his family's money, and he was admitted to a famous university, which is much better than his cousin's third-rate junior college. It is the matter of Guangzong's ancestors, except for his grandfather. He looked high, but his grandmother preferred Lu Hong more!
This makes him very unconvinced!
Lu Da turned his eyes and said, "Grandma, my cousin is really conscienceless. You love him so much that he comes back to visit you two or three times a year during the Spring Festival!"
Lu Guoying snorted again: "Their family is like this. If the household registration is transferred to the city, just think that you are from the city and don't even have to go back to your hometown?"
Sun Lian, Lu Zhilin's wife, said with a smile, "Dad, the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family should not think so, right? They only had a house in the urban area and worked in the factory, so they transferred their household registration. When it comes to houses, our family can afford it in the city, but we don't want to turn around.
Yu Qingbai glanced at her daughter-in-law. She was old, but she was not confused. Sun Lian's every word was showing off that she was belittling her eldest son's family.
She said dissatisfiedly, "Old man, what are you talking about? Isn't Zhide your son and A Hong not your grandson? What can't they do if they are too busy to be late? They said they would definitely come back! Ah Hong also said that he might bring your future granddaughter-in-law back. He is also about to graduate. If he gets married as soon as possible and strives to have a fat baby, maybe I can meet my great-grandson before I go to see my ancestors!"
As soon as he heard the great-grandson, Lu Guoying's eyes lit up, so he stopped talking and his face gradually slowed down.
Lu Da was even more unconvinced when he saw this: "Grandma, I also bring a handle. I can also bring your granddaughter-in-law back, and I can also let you have a great-grandson!"
Yu Qing smiled and said, "You are still young. We don't know if we can see that blessing."
Lu Da hummed and said, "Then my sister has been married for a long time, and she also has a son. Why didn't she see you happy when she brought my nephew here?"
"What do you know!" Lu Guoying stared at him, "No matter how good the great-grandson is, he is also his grandson or great-grandson. How can he compare with his own!"
Lu Da wanted to say something else, but he was stopped by his mother Sun Lian's look and turned his head dissatisfiedly.
Sun Lian thought for a while and said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Mom, I remember that A Hong is about to graduate. I don't know if he has found a job. If not, why don't you ask him to come back to help his second uncle? You know, his second uncle opened a supermarket in another town, and he was too busy.
Yu Qing hesitated a little: "I don't know him about this."
"Didn't they tell you?" Sun Lian was surprised, smiled and said, "But it's really pitiful for Ah Hong. His academic performance in high school is not much worse than that of our Ada, but he failed the exam and only studied for a junior college, alas. Now undergraduates are all over the street. I don't know if he can find a stable job after graduation! In my opinion, he just came back to help his second uncle. Right, Zhilin?"
"Ah?" Lu Zhilin, who was smoking silently, came to his senses and answered, "If he is willing to come back, I don't mind taking him."
"It's good for you to take him. Does he still want to take him?" Sun Lian was dissatisfied and nagging, "What can he do with his education? No one wants to enter the office, and I guess I can't get along with the company. It should be good to come back and do business with you and run errands. After more than ten or twenty years, it's almost enough to have half of your fortune.
Lu Guoying nodded when she heard the words and said, "That's the reason. Ask him later. Zhilin, is your business going well?
"It's okay." Lu Zhilin replied, "I'm going to open another branch."
Lu Guoying smiled and said, "You are still promising."
Lu Zhilin also smiled.
Sun Lian took the opportunity to say, "So, whether it is a son or a grandson, or a great-grandson, or a promising person can make the elders have face. Our family Zhilin's family is also numbered in the town, and many people envy it. Mom, do you think so?"
"What are you talking about!" Before Yu Qing could answer, Lu Zhilin scolded, "I'm just a few million. Many people take it out and don't look at it. Don't always talk about it, so that people won't listen to jokes!"
"Joke?" Sun Lian raised her head and said loudly, "Who dares to laugh? If you don't say anything else, just talk about this house. It cost 600,000 to 700,000 yuan to decorate it. I don't know how envies the villagers, but it's a joke?"
Lu Zhilin snorted dissatisfiedly. His mother-in-law knew that this snobbish surname could not be changed; but he still agreed with some words. If he had money, he had an identity, and only when he had an identity could he condescending to others.
Let's talk about his eldest brother. Lu Zhilin still respected his eldest brother when he was a child. Later, his eldest brother entered a state-owned enterprise factory and was also envied by everyone in the village. After graduating from high school, Lu Zhilin was already in the 1990s. After going to the Pearl River to see it, he came back and opened a non-staple food shop. He started from a child. Later, he introduced the concept of supermarket and started step by step. There are chain stores in several nearby towns. Personal assets are not hundreds of millions, but there should be tens of millions.
If you have money, you have an identity, and if you have an identity, it will be different. Over the years, you have had a lot of contact with some dignitaries in the town, which has developed Lu Zhilin's arrogance.
In his eyes, the eldest brother who has been working hard in the factory for decades is no longer his childhood idol!
However, he is arrogant, and the businessman's original surname of making money is also deeply rooted in his bone marrow. Besides, he is a relative anyway, so he doesn't treat his eldest brother's family too much, unlike his wife's eyes on people.
"Ada, there are two of you outside who say they are your friends. They come to celebrate their birthday. They drive two cars, one Audi and one Toyota, both of which are good cars!" When everyone was silent, a relative came in and said to Lu Da.
Lu Da stood up and felt very proud. He said, "Grandpa, my friend has come to celebrate your birthday. I'll go out for a while."
Lu Guoying nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't treat others slowly."
As soon as Lu Da went out, he saw two cars parked on the lawn outside his house in the distance. A man standing next to the car waved to him.
"Li Fuli!" Lu Da shouted and greeted him.
"Dazi!" The man named Li Fuli waved his hand. As soon as Lu Da came to him, he grabbed him and said to a fat man, "Come on, I'll introduce a friend to you."
Lu Da looked at the figure of the guy next to him and took a cold breath. It was so fat!
"This is Qiu Wen, my partner." Li Fuli introduced.
"Hello, Brother Qiu." Lu Da said enthusiastically.
"Hello, hello." Qiu Wen greeted each other with a smile.
If Lu Hong were here, it would be strange how Qiu Wen appeared here. Isn't this the fat man Qiu who kicked him that day!
Lu Da did not dare to neglect. Li Fuli was his high school classmate. After high school, he stopped studying and did business with others. Lu Da also knows the so-called business, opening a casino and lending usury. These people are not easy to mess with. Lu Da knew better that Li Fuli dared to do so, relying on his father's power. His father, Li Gui, is the director of the Qingtian Town Police Station. He has risen step by step in the local area, and his influence is not small.
In fact, the so-called partnership is just Qiu Wen pulling Li Fuli to give him a red. What's the purpose? Of course, it is necessary to use his father's identity as the director of the police station as an umbrella!
Everyone can see this clearly. Lu Da's family is in good condition. He got to know these princes and brothers, and he also got the essence of his father. He didn't provoke them and made more friends as the capital of the future.
Well, when his grandfather passed away, he also invited his former high school classmate Li Fuli, and Li Fuli brought his friend Qiu Wen with him!
"Come on." Lu Da said, "You go inside and have a cup of tea, and the birthday banquet is about to begin."
He led the two people into the gate.
While walking, Qiu Wen said, "Brother Lu, I don't know if your father is here. I want to know him."
Lu Da was stunned and then smiled and said, "I'm here, but he is now holding my grandfather's birthday banquet. Why don't you two introduce me to each other after the birthday banquet?"
He finally understood why Qiu Wen came to attend this birthday banquet. It turned out that it was all about his father's ideas. He didn't know what his father meant and was ready to ask for instructions before making a decision, so he excused.
Qiu Wen didn't force it. He laughed and said, "This is no problem, no problem. Boss Lu is the business leader in our area. As a junior, I am honored to meet him. How can I mind?
Lu Da was polite, but he was quite proud, and his father's status was also reflected in his respected performance.
"Look, look!" Li Fuli, who was beside him, suddenly pulled them and shouted outside the gate.
"What?" Qiu Wen and Lu Da are both strange.
"Beauty, beauty!" Li Fuli continued to shout, "Oh, my God, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman. It's really wonderful, tut!"
The two took a closer look and came in from the door, four people, two men and two women, two old and two young.
Lu Da was stunned for a moment and said, "It's my uncle's family."
"Your uncle?" Qiu Wen's face was strange, and his eyes gradually became angry.
Among the people who came in outside the door were Lu Hong and Chen Yuyan. He didn't expect that this was Lu Hong's hometown!
Jie Jie smiled, and Qiu Wen thought that this is the narrow road of the enemy?
Lu Da found Qiu Wen's strange expression and couldn't help asking, "Why, Brother Qiu knows them?"
Qiu Wen took a deep breath and said calmly, "Your cousin and I are high school classmates."
Lu Da smiled and said, "That's a coincidence."
"Yes, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence." Qiu Wenpi said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, so a coincidence!" Li Fuli stared at Chen Yuyan, who was gradually passing by without blinking, and muttered, "God is really good to me. Let me meet such a beautiful woman, if I can... hey hey!"
Qiu Wen took a look at Li Fuli's pig brother when he heard the words, and his heart moved.
At this time, Lu Da found a seat for them to sit down and said, "Sit down for a while. I'll go and say hello to my uncle." After saying that, he walked away.
Lu Hong's family walked over, and Qiu Wen became more and more annoyed. Especially when he saw the intimate appearance of Chen Yuyan and Lu Hong, he was jealous.
Li Fuli suddenly shouted, "Who is the man next to him? He actually took the beautiful woman's hand, hum!"
Qiu Wen looked at Li Fuli again. He knew that the young man in front of him was a hungry ghost. Over the years, he had ruined many good women by relying on his father's power. Even if the woman did not agree, he came to be stronger, even more annoying than him, a usury man. To be honest, if he hadn't seen his father's influence in the town, he really wouldn't have wanted to give this guy a share.
However, Lu Hong's kick made him hold a grudge. Now that Li Fuli is here, isn't it a good opportunity to kill people with a knife?
With a smile, Qiu Wen said, "Why, buddy, are you interested in that woman?"
"Interest, more than interest!" Li Fuli was about to drool, "Look, her figure, those two long legs, tut..."
Qiu Wen smiled faintly: "As far as I know, your classmate's family doesn't have a good relationship with that Lu Hong's family."
"Really?" Li Fuli's eyes lit up.
Qiu Wen nodded and said, "Also, Lu Hong and I are classmates, and I know the situation in his family. His parents are just workers, small workers, powerless.
Li Fuli smiled and stopped talking, staring at Lu Hong and his party, who were fading away.
Qiu Wen also sneered when he saw this: Lu Hong, look, I will let her destroy what I can't get!
